Travis Blane, better known as “DeFi Dad” to his 152,100 Twitter followers, has been making crypto content since 2019 and now holds various influential positions within the crypto industry. He’s the head honcho of marketing and portfolio support at Fourth Revolution Capital, an adviser for several Web3 projects, including Zapper and Push Protocol, and hosts two podcasts, “The Edge Podcast” and “The DeFi Podcast.” His journey to the crypto world is an eclectic one, ranging from studying at the University of Chicago to working at a camera shop and everything in between.
Blane believes that the secret behind his Twitter fame is a mix of intense focus, hard work, and being at the right place at the right time. In terms of his content, he provides advice on how to get started and upscale yourself in relation to DeFi and Web3 games but steers clear of trading memecoins. While he enthusiastically welcomes memecoin enthusiasts to follow him, he clarifies that he’s more of a long-term investor.
Regarding Crypto Twitter, Blane is a big fan of Guy Turner, the founder and face of Coin Bureau, for his storytelling and integrity. He aims to emulate Turner’s objectivity in his own content and maintain similarly high ethical standards, avoiding engaging in Twitter beefs or conflict.
Despite being averse to making price predictions, Blane expresses confidence that Bitcoin will go up to $500,000 or a million in the next decade. However, it’s clear that his real passion is Ethereum, which he believes is woefully undervalued. He likens Ethereum’s potential to that of popular Customer Relationship Management platforms Salesforce and Marketo, expecting Ethereum to become more powerful as more data and resources are invested into it. In his opinion, a $10,000 price for Ether would be conservative, and it could easily reach $20,000 to $30,000.
Despite his lighthearted approach in creating content, Blane is committed to maintaining ethical standards and fostering constructive debates within the crypto community. He encourages people to remain positive and focus on the bright future of cryptocurrencies, especially decentralized financial technologies, despite any negative events or setbacks that may occur along the way.
